After more than two decades working for companies like DuPont Pharmaceuticals and Palio, Dan Bobear had a vision.

He wanted to start his own company because of changes he saw in the marketing and pharmaceutical industries. He decided to start The Patient Experience Project about five years ago.

Today, the communications firm has more than 50 employees and is expecting to have $15 million in revenue this year, up from $8.5 million last year. Bobear expects to have 70 employees by the end of 2018.

The Patient Experience Project focuses on the health care, biotech and pharmaceutical industries. It creates content, like a peer-to-peer video or an online community.

Bobear continues to grow the company, including a new office in Saratoga Springs and an expansion in Chicago. He wants to make The Patient Experience Project one of the largest communications firms in the area.

Bobear sat down with the Albany Business Review to talk about his career and his company's growth. Check out the slideshow to learn more.
